Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 124 Good News

Ye Wan took out the eggs that had been frozen in water and gave one to each of them.

"Brother Ci, are you going to the soap factory later?"

"Yes, we did. We collected a lot of flowers yesterday afternoon. If we don't get them ready this morning, they won't be fresh anymore."

"Look, you've lost weight from being so busy every day."

Jiang Ci retorted that she didn't do any physical work every day and just relied on her brain and voice.

"No, I don't. I can feel a layer of flesh on my body."

Lin Jingsheng handed the peeled eggs to Jiang Ci, "Even if you haven't lost weight, you have to eat more."

I couldn’t suppress their enthusiasm, “Okay, okay!”

Next to the soap factory's well, a shed made of coarse cloth was erected, casting a shadow for the people working there.

There are several large wooden basins here, and there is a kind of flower in each basin.

Water drawn from the well was poured in bucket by bucket.

The petals floating on the water and the water droplets splashing on the petals are also a different kind of beauty.

"Aunt Fang, please wash that pot of flowers."

"Hey, where should we put these beautiful flowers, Brother Ci?"

"Uncle, wait a moment. I'll go get you something."

Jiang Ci went in and took out something made of bamboo that looked like a colander, and a wooden barrel.

"It's more convenient to use this to scoop up the flowers."

"This thing is really good. It will be convenient for me to use it to squeeze vegetables into the pot at home."

"I'll have someone make more and give one to each of you aunts and uncles."

"Oh, good!"

A group of people are having fun working together.

There were men and women washing the flowers and herbs and crushing them to extract the juice behind them.

Now there is no vacant space in the entire soap factory, and everyone in the village has a job.

Those people with bad intentions became content after getting jobs and receiving money.

If he wants to do something in the future, he will have to find someone from other villages.

"Brother Ci, do you think it's okay to pound it like this?"

Jiang Ci immediately walked over to the man and looked at him, "Crush it a little more."

"it is good."

"Then can you please take a look at what I have done?"

"This is acceptable."

Another voice came from outside, "Brother Ci, can we just pour out the washing water? Can we leave it outside?"

"Yes, there is a ditch over there, so it can flow outside."

After everything here was arranged, Jiang Ci went to take a look at the newly built staff room.

The last time he came, it was empty, with only a bed and no tables, chairs or cabinets.

This time we opened an uninhabited room, which was about 12 or 13 square meters in size. There was a one-meter-wide bed on each side. There was a window in the middle of the head of the bed, and under the window was a storage cabinet. There were two wardrobes at the end of the bed, and a dining table and two stools in the middle.

The environment is really nice, not much different from the simple double room in university.

Jiang Ci came out of the soap factory and just came to the main road, he saw Lin Jingsheng driving a donkey cart from the west.

Although it wasn't far to go home, Jiang Ci still took a ride. "What are you going to do in town?"

Lin Jingsheng patted the rice behind him and said, "When I was cooking this morning, my mother realized that the rice at home was all gone, so I went to buy some rice and some meat. You have finished your work at the soap factory."

"After you're done, just wait for the soap to be ready."

When Jiang Ci patted Lin Jingsheng's shoulder, she saw some dirt and patted him.

"Where did the dirt get stuck? You didn't even look at your body."

"It just fell off."

Now that they were home, they each took a rake and turned over the corn cobs that were drying in the yard.

"Let's go to my uncle's house tomorrow and find some people in Xiaoye Village to make toothbrushes."

"Now, this winter, all the sheep in the county will suffer. None of them will have a complete coat of wool."

"To make them more valuable, they have to be sheared so many times before being killed."

When delivering toothbrushes to the dock this afternoon, Jiang Ci and Li Qing discussed the matter of sending the toothbrushes to Beijing.

Li Qing also tried to talk in a nice way, but he couldn't just stand there and not get any benefits.

The price of each toothbrush was reduced by half a cent.

I learned that the toothbrushes they were going to make next would have some intricate and delicate patterns carved on them.

We want Jiangci to stop restricting the selling price of that batch of toothbrushes.

Jiang Ci also readily agreed. This time he planned to make some toothbrushes with exquisite patterns engraved on them and sell them to wealthy people in the capital. The rich had plenty of money, so it was no big deal for them to buy at a low price and sell for a few dozen wen.

"Then we'll go tomorrow. Anyway, I asked Ye Bei to tell my two uncles yesterday. We can go directly to their houses to look for them when we get there tomorrow."

"It just so happens that I'm going to draw a few more patterns to be carved on the toothbrushes this afternoon, and I'll take them to my uncle's house tomorrow."

"The patterns drawn by Ah Ci are very beautiful and refreshing, especially the first batch of toothbrushes. You can imagine how popular they were."

The patterns in Jiangci’s paintings mainly incorporate what he has seen in modern times.

There are simple patterns, such as a few vivid fallen leaves and petals, and a cute cartoon kitten or puppy.

These are engraved on the lower part of the toothbrush handle.

There are also complex and intricate patterns, like lifelike cranes and flying rocs with flapping wings.

Moreover, Jiangci also wants to make these toothbrushes engraved with complex and intricate patterns out of better wood so that they can be sold at a higher price.

There are people in their village who can do carpentry work. Ever since Jiang Ci started building the soap factory, there has been a steady supply of work and a lot of money coming in.

After dinner, the western sky was filled with red clouds, and the curtain of night had fallen in the eastern sky.

Jiang Ci was sitting at the door and teasing the little fox with a piece of grass, but the little fox was not very interested in the grass. It just played with it for a few times out of courtesy and then left.

"Little raccoon."

The little cat turned his head and saw that he still knew the name his owner had given him.

Seeing that its owner was alright, it turned around and walked along the wall again.

Jiang Ci walked back and forth on the ground with the grass in her hand, but Fuzai, who ran out from the yard, was not interested in the grass.

All kinds of scratching with claws and biting with mouth.

"Brother Porcelain."

"Huh?" Ye Shuyun, who was standing next to him, moved a stool and walked towards him.

"Don't move the stools. There are plenty of stools here. It's a good opportunity for you to come and chat. It's boring for me to sit alone."

"What about the rest of your family?"

Jiang Ci pointed at the empty stools and said, "We had been sitting here chatting before, but later everyone left and I was the only one left."

"I have good news for you. Guess what it is about."

Jiang Ci thought about what it might be related to, but in the end she couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Jiang Ci was slow to speak, Ye Shuyun lost his patience and couldn't wait to tell Jiang Ci what he had just heard.

"I just heard from my father that someone came to your uncle to collect debts this afternoon."

"Oh, is it so?"

The dim environment concealed the excitement in his eyes.

Ye Shuyun saw the smile on Jiang Ci's face and felt that what he would say later would make Jiang Ci smile even bigger.
